Given At Gaudy, thi's ! ii day of February, 1513. By his excellency's command, (Signed) GEO. LUSICiNAN,,Sec. for Candy Provinces. God save tin• Sing ! Not withstanding the, general , appearance,. sub mission,and tranquillity, which we announced in our last paper, and which we are assured ones in the conntry stirrounding Badulla and the provinces of Wellasse, Bintenne, and great part of Wallaftana, the flatne of rebellion has, within -the last week, broken out in the provinces ~of Hewahette and Dooinbera,, in the former, as far as our information goes, in consequence of an irruption into it ftotn the west of Wal',yawl, on the night of the 12th current, at a body of rebels, who carried off forcibly the Rata Mahatmego,of the province. As soon as the report of this out- rage reached head-quarteri on the 13th', a force was detached to. Hangrankette (a' central posi tion in Hewaketty,) under Captain Glenholme, q the 73d regiment, who, the first night he .esta- Wished himself there, was attacked by a large rabble, and fired on from all sides, but succeeded in.driving them off,.with- the loss of a man killed .and three wounded on the side of the rebels, an-. 3 Ito casualty on ours ; Captain Glenholme i next - day "sent a pat role towards Materalc, which 'fell 'in with a Lascoreen and a Cooly, who'had escap ed from the insurgents; by whom they bad )teen stopped while •bringing the post from I3adulla, which they bad taken from them : a Caffee who 'was theta was knocked down With bludgeons and afterwards killed. This. event is 'the mote to be regretted, as the detail of Major M‘Donald's proceedings in Ouva, which has been ascertained to have been in the packet, is for the preSent out of °Ur react) t all that is known is, that (as we have before stated)! -every thing was quiet alp:sit Badulla,• and that the native armed force of Saf fregam Was actively employed in Lower bora. Captain Glenholine was not molested the next bight, and moved on the lath to open a conimu nication with Gonegamme; that last had been reinforced by a party sent from Candy, comniand 'ed by CaPtain Kettlewell, 11(iyal Artillery, who 'from thence proceeded to Kimbulgantotte, a terry on the Mahavillagunga, leading from Doombera into Hewahetty : from that place on the 16th instant, an escort was sent with ammunition and 'provisions to Panella, under the command of `Vent. Hitigston, 83d regiment, which was at tacke d by a numerous assemblage of rebels near •Appabeware, s and the firing kept np for near an hour on both sides. '['he loss of the rack is not •k nown ,' as they were hid in jungles ; on our side three European privates were wounded. Captain `GlenhOlme had, at the date of our last accounts, returned 'to Hangrankette, without meeting any ••opposition on his road., The same horde of in .surgents at• Appabemare had, on the 14th hest, made an attack on a party escorting provisions into Panella, on which occasion we regret to state, that Lieut. Sloper, '2d Ceylon regiment, 'was se- Nerely wounded.by a mnsket-ball which is lodged in his elbow ; and a Scrjeant 'of 2tl Ceylon also, who is since dead. There having been several reports of an attack threatened on Doombera, a reinforcement had been sent some time back there, srnd on the first account of the likelihood of in surrection in t h at province, Captain Strace was sent.forward with act additional force. No ac , counts have been received of his force, or any 'other military force, having met with opposition; but as a convoy of bullocks, Without escort, was plundered near Hanwelle, it was deemed expe dient, on 18th einfret)l,. to detach a .further force under` Brevet-Major "text, 83d regiment, on the saute road. . , The following is an extract of a private letter flour Mount Lirdly; in North America, addressed to a Conimerch&house - in this country Ma- Totfactories ilre going on here, but in Amy opinion lvithout a prospect of being carried on to any great effect.

UELENA, APRit, 19, 1518; Sta,;--Your Letter to Omit Bevtrand, your direct disobe dience tu .. the 'Governor 4 s orders, and opeu disavowal of his authority immediately afterwards, would appear to render other measures necessary than ttrat of replying to any letter addressed by you to him, after such proceedings; but as it is desirable your removal 'from LongwOod shOuld be combined with a certain consideration towards the person on emu' you are attending, I have_receired the Governor's directions notwitbstandink to reply to your letter of the lath instant, Firstly, The instructions I conviyeti to you, in his name, on the tuth instant, do n ot, as you have stated, assimilate you to the "French Prisoners" at Longwood, unless so- far as a . conscionStieSs ui your having girCn cause to be so assis militted . may have led you to suppose by implication such to hare been the Govern Or's intention. , It considered as a restriction, they (Wes materially from those imposed upon the French Officers, inasmuch as &cum statices might render a different hind of regulation necessary for enforcing compliance with established rules otr the part of a person in au official situation who may have given reason. to suppose that he is capahle of misusing its trust and oppor tunities, than the foreign persons who are the uhji:ct of .their rules, and who, however they might be disposed, could not with the sonic facility evade them. If, howeter, considered simply as an orderfor the more ex act .performance of your medical duties, they impose no re 7 straint heyond . that which it is entirely in the Governor's dis cretion and authority to impose, a., it is in his opinion to judge whether the only Medical Person attached to the Esta blipment at Longwood, and the only one in this Island whom Napoleon Buohaparte has hitherio been willing fa consult, shall be at liberty to quit the premises at any time he pleases ox not, leaving in• the former case no Medical Attendant-at - all on the spot, or givin6 occasion for calling in persons whose visits there the Governor may nut be informed of, or migl.t not think fit to concur in. The instruction requires this permission for your quitting Long'woW, but rhere it is granted it does not require (as, in the case of the foreign persons when they pass beyond the limits) that you should proceed unaccompanied. The second paragraph' of your letter recites the stipulations you made upon accepting your situation, avoiding, however, to refer to the only document which contains them, viz. your letter-to Lord Keith, and his•reply. Thi: statement you have now presented is not a correct transcript of that letter;- the omissions and additions to it are ,stated in the Paper annexed. You say all the conditions were approved of by the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty. Their Lordships' . naies have been thus most unwarrants illy brought forward in apprOval of 4operadded conditiotrr which they never could have spelt; but even if they had ap proved any3tich,, it is not likely they would consider them as exempting you from obedience to local regulations. The third paragraph of your letter says, the Governor ma nifested in June last s om e intention of.imposing upon you the same restrictions as the French prisoners were subjected to, and that on that occasion you communicated the stipulations you made, and adding, yow would prefer giving in your re signation to submitting to any such testrictions,fr , ut whence ou draw the inference,that the instructions now conveyed to you are a demand for ypur resignation. The Governor desires me to controvert the fact of his having ever used any expression to justify you in such a conclusion or inlerence, as that he had an intention to, place you under the same restrictions as those I imposed upon the French prisoners, so called by you. Such intention, in fact, was never in his contemplation, nor did any Officer of his Staff, either at the time to which,you refer, or at any time subsequently, ever hear hint express it, nor was any argument on such point ever brought forward into discussion with you, nor was any other stipulation or conditiou of your service ever Made known to the Governor, to leave or to merit any trace in his recollection, beyond•what was expressed in your letter to him of the t4th August, 1915, and in your letter to `Lord Keith, of which last, though you May not have been aware of it, yOu, have left a copy with hies, but to neither of which, as written documents, you have thought proper to refer. When yon left with the Governor the copy of your lett'er r to Lord Keith, which contains the only original condition to which you are audio' ized to refer in any otliciitl communica tion to him, you did not make known any such stipulation as that which is now introduced ; nor %%mild the Governor ? have admitted you to do so in any sense o pp ose d t o the due anti necessary exercise of his authority, nor did you accompany the delivery of-that paper with any'such declaration as that which you now draw in inference Prow the superadded sti pulation: - .Further, if a matter should arise for any'regulation which might appear to place you under a similar restraint with the, foreign persons at I.4ngwood, resulting from a breach or eva sion of any established role, whereby you might he rendering yourself instrumental to their views, and counteracting the disposition of your own Government, it is by you, Sir, the measure would be forced, and nut by the Governor; and the more present to your memory, such a declaration as that Fe ferred tO, the more premeditated on your part, and the more compulsory on the Governor 'would you► line of proceeding . in such case appear. Your intention, however, to quit this Island was known in England several mouths before the Governor knew it. How does this accord with your promise to Napoleon Buonaparte not toq'trit him as long as he remained in his present state ? Of .the above determination it was your Gust duty to hare ac quainted the Governor, in order that Napoleon Bnonaparte also Might hare been informed of it, and you ari! responsible for any inconvenience which may result to bins by not having done so. In reference to that part of your letter in which you speak of your independence and rights as British subjects, the Go vernor dues not consider your emancipation trom the tititiesof a Surgeon of a man of war, to he employed equally under the orders of Government in a particular duty on shore, grants any new privilege on such heap. If you were to return to your duty on board a ship of war, and circumstances should require the Comroander of it to convey an order to you not to quit it without his permission, .700 .would not presume, nor would he suffer you to talk of your rights and independence to'hiru, if acting in disobedience to such order, particularly before any representation was made against it, nor would a Naval .Court Martial pay much attention to this,plvaii if such an act of insubordinAtioo wa, brought to theit juttirent„ Disobedience to au order not to quit. the particular district ou shore within which your ouly duty lies, w•it:isut sive ioi peroissiou (that order con'veyed +%ith::ut censure ‘rehation upon you, beyond whit you have yourself thought fit to imply, anti disobeyed even berme any repr..,:entati& was made against it), does not`carry less ground of condenalation against you. A more serious reflection, however, occurs to'the Go'vernor's mind, on ,perusing the nbove.tercus in your letter. Wherever you may have misused the confidential trust posed in you as a British Officer, by counteracting any public ordinance, which has relation to the Person upon whom you are Attending —wherever you way have bound yourself, by any secret pledge,-to a Person in his particular situation, unknown to the Authority you were under, or of which you did Dot immediately infOrm it--wherever you may hare al lowed-him or . any of the persons of his suite to suppose you' , could be'rendered an instrument fur any clandestine or indi ,rect purpose whatever, it would indicate a line of action not quite consistent with that spirit ofindepend'ence to which you lay claim, or to that nice sense• of public dnty which an official situation requires; and whether your uniform might or might not be sullied, is a question which may, in such case, be considered in a very different light to that in which you appear desirous it should he treated,: In conclusion, I am .directed by the Governor to acquaint you, that he accepts, and will forward to England, the Re signation tendered in your letter to him of the 1 2th inst., without prejudice, however,, to any measures which the law or dispositions of the service to, which you belong may give rise to, fur any breach of law or regulation committed by you, antecedent ur subiecinent to the date of your resigna tion being - tendered ; further, if. Napoleon Btionaparte is willing to receive the advict',sf any tither Medical l'ersvn on thicisland than yourself—lie wilt consent to your immediately quitting Longwood ; without _waiting any instructions from, his Guternment thereupon ; hut if he should not be willing to receive any other Medical Person, it wily be proper you should continue in your present situation until your Re signation has been received in England, or that some arrange ment can be made fur the supply of your duties.
